I was invited to this exclusive blogger party for the media launch of NEW Tsubaki Shampoo! Saw many other bloggers/models and I felt really old……… That aside, was given the opportunity to make new friends too! 🙂

Sorry for the camwhore pics. Was testing out my new cam – Canon G1x for selfie shots. 🙂

I’ve been using the sponsored Tsubaki shampoo for damaged hair as we were told to pen down problems we have with our hair. With the constant dyeing and redyeing, my hair gets damaged easily and quickly due to the chemicals. I have dry frizzy split ends and more often than not, the damage on your hair is reflected within 15cm from the bottom of your hair ends.

I make it a point to apply conditioner on my hair everyday and while waiting, I cleanse my face and brush my teeth. That is how I make full use of the time, leaving the conditioner on for approx 10 mins, while doing other stuffs. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone. 🙂

After using Tsubaki for almost 2 weeks, I noticed that my hair seems softer with lesser tangles. The ends look healthier too, which reminds me I might have to just snip them off and trim them nevertheless to maintain healthy hair growth 🙂

I don’t wish to hide this anymore, but all along, I’ve been dyeing my hair on my own. I seldom visit the hair salons (which might be a bad thing and cause of the split ends due to the lack of pampering hair treatments I ought to shower my poor hair with).

But as you know, dyeing hair at salons are waaaay too expensive, especially if you have long waist-length hair like mine. Moreover, I am not a fan of waiting hours after hours after hours just to get my hair dyed, washed, blown, washed again…

Thus, ever since Liese introduced their DIY bubble hair dyes, I’m elated and have been depending on them for my hair colours.

I know it’s an extremely tedious work to do everything by yourself. I get ‘shocked’ reactions and the disbelief from my family, friends and colleagues whenever I told them I DIY-ed myself. If you are not certain that you can do a good job or would prefer someone else to do it for you at the comfort of your own home, then so be it! Get your family, domestic helper or even a friend!

Was quite excited when I was offered this sponsorship by Liese but had to contemplate awhile because ‘Jewel Pink’ didn’t seem quite appropriate for work. Sad but true, I’d regretted not dyeing my hair a little redder when I was still a student 😦

So naturally, I did my homework before agreeing to take up this sponsorship by reading other bloggers’ reviews and viewing images for myself too.

Turns out that ‘Jewel Pink’ won’t make you look like Lady GaGa or Pink.

In fact, the tinge of pink is extremely faint.

The sponsorship came the right time because my black roots were already showing and being a perfectionist, I had to do something about it.

Given in a cute basket filled with a lovely pink rose and hot pink hair band! 🙂

Here’s a step by step process of using Liese Bubble Hair Dye.

Step 1 :

Pour Bottle ‘1’ into Bottle ‘2’.

Cap Bottle ‘2’ when done and shake it up and done, though not vigorously.

If you are unsure how to mix the 2 liquids together, this simple illustration should help.

After shaking.

Let the mixture settle down for about 2 to 3 mins. You will witness a colour change.

Put on your gloves. You can put them on from the start.

You just have to press at the middle portion of the bottle and it will filtered out as bubble puffs!

Tadah!

Few tips to DIY at home : Wear a really old shirt you don’t want or cut out a head-hole from a piece of newspaper and wear it over your head to prevent staining your shirt. Either that, you can use a poncho you don’t want because determining the size of the head-hole is quite difficult.

Apply the bubble hair dye to your hair as how you would when shampoo-ing. Make sure you have covered all areas to prevent patches. Just dispense the foam, apply on hair and massage.

OOTD and this is how the colour looks like indoors.

Despite dyeing on a already coloured hair, the results were not too bright and still suitable for work, well unless you aren’t allowed to dye your hair at all.

Please note that the colour results might differ due to few factors :

The time you left the hair dye on (I left it for approx 30mins)

The absorption rate and intensity of your own hair. Applicable to those with thick black hair and have experienced difficulties in absorbing hair dyes. You may wish to leave it on longer.

You hair colour PRIOR to using the bubble hair dye. Mine was brown before I redyed it.

What I like about Liese Bubble Hair dye :

Added with Honey as a moisturising agent – Really helps! My hair still feels ultra smooth despite washing it for the 3rd day after dyeing!

Provided with after-care treatment – conditioner – this is really good. I wished they could produce this as a conditioner itself.

User-friendly and instructions are simple to comprehend. You’ll get the hang of it once you are a frequent user like me.
